Blood is of immense cultural significance. We talk of blood ‘being thicker than water’ to signify the strength of family loyalty, as also reflected in ‘blood brothers’. A massacre is a ‘blood bath’, the reward for assassination ‘blood money’. Blood signifies power, for good or evil; the consumption of blood, metaphorically, lies at the heart of the Christian sacrament, yet many societies produce legends of vampires, whose evil is signified by their taste for human blood.
